How to extract only Date from the received email

[anshulagarwal]

Hi,

I want to extract only the date from the result of item.Headers(“Date”)
How can we do it?
This is needed as in the flow I am checking a condition of the system date equals the email date in the format mm-dd-yyyy

I tried but I get the below error message

newdatevalue=DateTime.ParseExact(emaildate.ToString,“MM-dd-yyyy hh:mm:ss”,Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture).ToString(“MM-dd-yyyy”)

newdatevalue is of type string

Thanks,
